Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Originally, Zhao Yuan could still comfort herself in her heart that it was impossible for Gu Xiao to be the Chu familyâs second young masterâs girlfriend. Now that she heard Jiang Mengâs words, her heart instantly plummeted.
She had heard that the second young master of the Chu family seemed to be a new student in their school this year.
However, because she had a conflict with Gu Xiao when school started, she was in a bad mood and did not pay much attention to the Chu familyâs Second Young Master.
Although she was arrogant, she also knew that someone like the Second Young Master of the Chu family was not someone she could get close to. Naturally, she would not spend more effort on the impossible.
Hence, during this period of time, she had been racking her brains to get her pride back from Gu Xiao. She had never paid attention to the school forum or the school website.
At this moment, she finally looked at Jiang Meng and Wei Shu, whom she had always looked down on. âW-What do you mean by that?â
Seeing Gu Xiaoâs calm expression, coupled with Jiang Meng and Wei Shuâs helpless and surprised expressions, Zhao Yuan suddenly had a bad feeling.
No, it couldnât be that the country bumpkin Gu Xiao she was talking about was really Second Young Master Chuâs real girlfriend, right?
Jiang Meng glanced at Gu Xiao, who had continued reading after sending the messages. Seeing that the other party did not seem to care, she turned around and advised Zhao Yuan.
âYou can go on the campus website and take a look. There are quite a lot of news about Xiaoxiao.â
Seeing that Jiang Meng did not seem to be lying, Zhao Yuan hurriedly took out her phone and opened A Universityâs campus network.
However, that Gu Xiao and Chu An had already been in school for a few days. Other than the initial two days when the matter between Gu Xiao and Chu An caused an uproar, news about the two of them gradually settled down.
After all, most people in A University were still focused on their studies and practicals. After being lively for a while, not many people paid any further attention to Gu Xiao and Chu An.
Zhao Yuan searched for a while on the schoolâs website before she saw a post with photos of Gu Xiao and Chu An.
She knew that her doubts should be answered by this post, so she quickly clicked on it.
However, before the article and photos had finished loading, her phone received a call. Seeing that it was from her father, Zhao Yuan could no longer bother about Gu Xiao and immediately picked up the call.
âHey, Dad, youâ¦â
âWhat are you doing?! Didnât i ask you to apologize to Second Young Master Chu and beg for forgiveness?! Why has the Chu Corporation directly said that they wonât consider our Creation Technology in the future?! Look at what youâve done! How did 1 give birth to such a bringer of bad luck like you?! Youâ¦â
Before Zhao Yuan could ask, she was rudely interrupted by her father.
Hearing her fatherâs insults, Zhao Yuan only felt her mind buzzing, and she could not hear Mr Zhaoâs subsequent insults clearly.
Right now, her mind was filled with images of her showing off to Gu Xiao previously and Gu Xiao taking out her phone to contact someone.
Just now⦠Was the person Gu Xiao contacted Second Young Master Chu? Could the man who came to their dormitory previously be Second Young Master Chu?
âIâm warning you! Zhao Yuan, if you donât settle this matter for me, Iâll teach you a lesson!â
Mr Zhaoâs angry roar came from Zhao Yuanâs phone. As soon as he finished speaking, Mr Zhao hung up.
Jiang Meng and Wei Shu originally looked at Zhao Yuan as if they were watching a joke, but after hearing Mr Zhaoâs insults, they could not help but frown.
Although this matter was indeed Zhao Yuanâs fault, Mr Zhaoâs words were too unpleasant.
He even said things like âdistress commodityâ and âslutâ[i.This is an insulting, sexist comment about a daughter, as in the past in China, parents would have to offer a dowry for when a daughter marries, as opposed to their son marrying, as his wife would be bringing in a dowry from her family to his.]â¦
However, they were only bystanders. Although they felt that Mr Zhaoâs words had goone a little overboard, they did not think of putting in a good word for Zhao Yuan to Gu Xiao.
The two of them glanced at Zhao Yuan and looked at Gu Xiao, who seemed completely immersed in her book. They looked at each other and sighed before returning to their seats.
Zhao Yuan took the phone away from her ear in a daze. After a few seconds, she finally reacted.
She looked at Gu Xiao in disbelief. âY-Youâre really Second Young Master Chuâs girlfriend?â
Gu Xiao ignored Zhao Yuan and did not want to waste time on her.
However, it was obvious that Gu Xiaoâs silence agitated Zhao Yuan instead. She ignored everything and shouted at Gu Xiao, âSince youâre Second Young Master Chuâs girlfriend, why didnât you say so earlier?! Is it very fun to hide it from me and play with me?!â
Zhao Yuan did not reflect on her own actions at all. Instead, there was a hint of accusation in her words..
